Real Flares Vol. 1 is a collection of 82 organic light leaks and lens flares, designed to add shine and real luster to your edits. These work perfectly within Final Cut, Premiere Pro, Avid Media Composer or any NLE that supports blend or composite modes. You can also use them in Adobe After Effects or even Adobe Photoshop Extended, to give truly gorgeous transitions or just a little extra flair.

Shot for Quality

Shot at 4K on a RED Digital Cinema camera using Carl Zeiss prime cine lenses, this collection is created for working professionals who need the highest quality. This does not have the banding or compression artifacts of other competitors’ collections.

What we deliver : 10-bit Quicktime Apple ProRes LT for smooth gradients. What we don’t : 8-bit Quicktime or H264. No macro-blocking or banding.

Fully Labelled and Simple to Use

Drag the flare or light leak onto your timeline or add to your composition, over your current footage. Set the Blend Mode to Composite to get your desired effect (usually Screen or Add) and that’s it. All our footage is well labelled, so you won’t waste your time looking for the perfect choice.

If you want to increase or customize the effect, you can play with the brightness, hue and saturation until you get the look you want. All clips were shot at a higher than normal framerate to give you more useful frames. If you want a flash to be faster, just add a simple speed change in your non-linear editor. It couldn’t be easier.
